Stop vaping

Erik, grappling with the difficulty of his decision, admits to his doctor that he’s fallen back into smoking, despite trying out vaping. He needs a bit more time to navigate this challenging choice. The doctor highlights an important point: how long Erik has smoked is the biggest factor that affects his lung cancer risk. The total number of cigarettes he’s smoked and how early he started smoking also an play important role in the equation.

To avoid the cycle of quitting and restarting, the doctor advises Erik to set a clear goal, and quit smoking entirely within a specific timeframe for maximum health benefits. The effort required for smoking cessation seems daunting to him and Erik is uncertain about when he’ll start to feel the benefits to his body.

When, indeed, might those positive changes start to show?
